Corn flowering

Hi Margaret and Arzeena, I am in Singapore where its summer all year. I was referring to the tassles when I said "Flowering". Leaving one for seed sounds fine to me. I didnt expect much of a harvest cos I'm short on space and am actually keener on other stuff like beans, tomatoes , peppers, okra and eggplant- all of which I'm growing with lots of other veg too.We are a small family  and just want some homegrown veg to supplement what we buy. Besides we have all year and I can start more corn soon, even before I harvest this lot.I do the same with other plants, start them at different stages for a continual supply. Right now we are eating fresh bittermelon, tomatoes, basella, wild eggplant and kangkong. We hope to eat beans, peppers and okra soon. Last year we had lots of pumpkin and okra- both of which I've started again. The okra is producing buds.
